New kids on the block

| 86 Comments | No TrackBacks

As we have seen before in Formula One, founding a completely new team and being competitive is an almighty task. Some have been successful, others not. 


The FIA have now confirmed its entry list and in 2010 the grid will expand to welcome six more cars and three new teams. For Campos Grand Prix, Team US F1 and Manor Grand Prix Racing, the winter will be a very busy one - building the team, developing a fast and reliable F1 car from scratch, and raising the money necessary to compete at the top level.


CAMPOS GRAND PRIX

Country: Spain

Engine: Cosworth

Team principal: Adrian Campos

The Campos Racing team was launched in 1998 by former F1 driver Adrian Campos, who competed in 21 grands prix for Minardi between 1987 and 1988 but failed to finished better than 14th place. The results of his own teams have been better. He also gave Fernando Alonso his first ever car test, and the Spaniard went on to win the Euro Open MovieStar Series by Nissan with Campos. The team entered the GP2 Series in 2005 and in 2008 won the constructors' championship. In 2009 the GP2 team was renamed Barwa Addax, and proved the class of the field. Campos also compete in F3, run the Mexico A1 Grand Prix team, and have won a total of 11 titles.

 

MANOR GRAND PRIX RACING

Country: United Kingdom

Engine: Cosworth

Team principal: John Booth

Based in Sheffield, in the north of England, Manor has been active in the lower formulae ever since former racer John Booth turned to management. They quickly won in Formula Ford, the entry level single-seater series, and then dominated Formula Renault between 1997 and 2000, Kimi Raikkonen taking his first title with Manor. In 2003, Lewis Hamilton raced for them and won the British F3 championship. The F1 team's technical director is Nick Wirth, who was previously technical director at Benetton and, before that, founded the Simtek F1 team which raced between 1994 and 1995. In total, Manor has won 171 races and 19 championships in other formulae.

 

TEAM US F1

Country: USA

Engine: Cosworth

Team principal: Ken Anderson

Running under the slogan 'Made in America', US F1 is an entirely new racing operation, but its directors have been involved in F1 racing for many years. Ken Anderson was previously technical director of the Ligier and Onyx F1 teams, has designed and constructed multiple Indy 500 and Indy Car Series winning cars, and created the state-of-the-art Windsheer wind-tunnel in North Carolina. It is in this American state - an epicenter for NASCAR racing teams - that US F1 will be based, and the team plans to field to American drivers. It will be the first time an F1 team has been based outside of Europe.

 

DID YOU KNOW?

US F1 co-founder and sporting director Peter Windsor is a journalist and former Williams team manager, and was a passenger in the car when Sir Frank Williams had his crippling accident in 1986.
